Wonderful!

"BEFORE"

Joyce got here this morning at 10 AM and didn't finish up until after 6:30 this evening.  I don't think the place has been this clean in YEARS!  She did an amazing job.  Just knowing that she'll be back every couple weeks may be enough to help me stay a little more organized. 

"AFTER"   

  

I left Duke outside last night by himself and he was NOT happy about it.  But he has a neck blanket so I figured he should be warm enough.  But he took up a position at the gate and stayed there for the duration, so tonight I put Lizzie out by herself.  She was even LESS happy about it and was still whinnying and carrying on when I left.  I will be SO glad when this cold snap is over.

(He kind of looks like a horse version of the wolf in Little Red Ridinghood, doesn't he?)
